May Mobility and CaoCao Partner to Accelerate Global Robotaxi Deployment

May Mobility and CaoCao have entered into a strategic partnership to evaluate the commercial feasibility of deploying robotaxi services across key international markets. Announced on June 24, the collaboration will initially focus on conducting joint commercial feasibility studies while advancing pilot programs in regions including Europe. Beyond pilot operations, the companies also plan to strengthen cooperation in market expansion, operational model innovation, and commercialization strategies to support the transition from successful pilot validation to large-scale deployment.

CaoCao to Lead Fleet Operations for Robotaxi Services

Under the agreement, CaoCao will act as the fleet owner and operator for future robotaxi services. The company will contribute its expertise in ride-hailing operations, fleet management, vehicle support, maintenance, and large-scale commercial fleet execution. By leveraging its operational capabilities, CaoCao aims to establish an efficient foundation for expanding autonomous ride-hailing services into international markets while supporting long-term commercial viability.

May Mobility to Provide Autonomous Driving Technology

May Mobility will power the robotaxi fleet using its proprietary autonomous driving architecture, which combines deep learning, world models, and real-time reasoning technologies. The company already operates autonomous mobility services in the United States and Japan, providing practical experience that supports the deployment of scalable autonomous transportation solutions. This technology is expected to enable safe and efficient robotaxi operations as commercialization expands into additional global markets.

Partnership Supports CaoCao's RoboX Expansion Strategy

Commenting on the collaboration, Dr. Edwin Olson, CEO and Founder of May Mobility, said that CaoCao has established an ambitious objective of deploying 100,000 robotaxis by 2030 and expressed enthusiasm about working together to help achieve that goal. The partnership also supports the international rollout of CaoCao's RoboX strategy, introduced on June 18, as the company advances its transformation into a physical AI mobility technology platform with broader global ambitions.
